The audience At the Theater last
night while not large was apprecia-
tive, and enjoyed Sheridan Knowles's
fine tragedy HiygiRiaB. Mr.. James. in
the leading role, was attractive, bis de-
livery Of the declamatory passages, es-
pecially in defense Of his daughter be-
fore the deceiver Olavius, and his de-
nunciation Of Caius Clsudlus, being
fine pieces Of elocution, notwithstsnd.
ing certain huskiness of voice that
was painfully apparent. The ssnti-
ments OF the drama we're not however,
marred in any respect by the inter-
probation, which was OF high dra-
matte character, and approaching near
to the magnificent portrayal Of the
role by the late John McCul-
Tough. Miss Marie Vain wright, as the
Roman maiden Virginia" was most
pleasing. The character ia one Of the
sweetest and among the saddest OF
classic history, and its correct interpre-
tation depends no little u Don the per-
sonsl appearance OF the artist who at
Temps its portrayal. Miss Wainwright
succeeded In impressing the audience
most favarably by her STATUE sque
poses aud her artless, modest and IN
affected manner, which were in keep
ing with the character as depicted by
the playwright and as known in histo-
ry. The support rendered by the
company was fair only, no particular
role being worthv OF special mention.
Tonight Much ado About Nothing will
be the attraction.

mittees and the eminent experts en-
ployed, on the various questions con-
nected with new and perfect sani-
tary water supply tor that city. The
documents make thick pamphlet,
illustrated with fac drawings of pro.
posed plans, some OF which will be of
general interest beyond the locality
directly concerned. OF the character
OF the documents, also, 1t may be said
that they are marked by advanced
knowledge, progressive views and in
dependent inquiry and judgment, that
are, unfortunately, rare in official pre-
sentiments Of this kind. No city in the
United States, we suppose, has beeL
more progressive or successful in SAM
tsry Improvements than the oft quoted
city OF Memphis. The proceedings OF
the Memphis authorities on water
supply and publication will interest
sanitarians and officials who can pro-
cure them, even more than their emil
nent success in 30 wersge has DONE"
